How this site's figures are read and checked

This site reads public pages of cTrader Copy and of SEC Nigeria, saves them, counts what they print and dates each reading. Latest reading: 6 November 2026. It audits no provider's record, names no provider and ranks nothing.

What is read

Five pages of ctrader.com/copy (front page, broker list, gold, bitcoin and euro symbol pages), four help pages of help.ctrader.com/ctrader-copy (overview, investing in strategies, strategy page, fees calculation), two public notices of sec.gov.ng and the SEC register of operators. Pages were requested one at a time, about eight seconds apart, from a server, with no login and no cookie.

What is counted

From the broker list: the entries, the copy flag, the printed leverage, minimum deposit, currencies and regulators. From the symbol pages: the 20 cards with their printed return, minimum investment, creation date, symbols and a 29-point curve; the cards are counted in bands and never named. From the fees page: the three caps. From the SEC register: rows, categories and name searches for four words.

How it is re-checked

A second script reads the saved files by another route and recounts entries, flags, each card's figures and each curve's largest fall, then compares. Five defects planted on purpose (a shifted return, a flipped flag, a changed fall, a changed cap, a dropped card) were each caught. The re-check proves the copying of figures, not the accuracy of the source.

What a figure is not

A printed return is the provider's own record as the platform shows it. It is not a result a follower obtained and not an expectation. The period of the return on a card is not stated on the pages read. The 29-day curve is a short window used only to count falls.

What is missing

Strategy pages (fees, drawdown, trades) and the Start copying button sit inside the application and need a login; they are out of scope. No Central Bank of Nigeria page was read. No SEC position on copy trading was found. Fills are not public, so the gap between provider and follower is not measured.

Corrections

A figure that does not match the page it cites is a defect. Write to the address on the contact page with the figure and the page, and the figure is changed in place with the date of the change.
